Abstract: Land-use planning instruments guide development, significantly affecting future water demands. Hence, land-use and water-service planning should be integrated. However, water availability issues in urban areas might indicate that this integration is not happening. To evaluate the integration among planning instruments, we propose a set of indicators to quantify the magnitude of the integration and an appraisal framework for exploring the possible causes of a lack of integration. We apply them to eight settlements in Chile, and we find some inconsistencies between water service and land-use planning instruments. Suggestions are proposed to enable the desired integration. • We propose a set of indicators to quantify the magnitude of the integration. • We propose an appraisal framework to explore possible causes of lack of integration. • We find inconsistencies between water and land-use planning in 8 Chilean settlements. • We propose suggestions to enable the desired integration.
